Caloric Values of Alcoholic Beverages, Alcohol calories
JFC. Drinking booze will, indeed, make you fat. This excellent article, produced for the University of Rchester Health Promotion Office, not only discusses the metabolic reasoning behind the reviled "beer belly", but also has a comprehensive list of caloric values of alcoholic beverages.

I had always known that an average beer was about 150 calories per bottle, but what I hadn't known was how calorie-laden liquor was. For instance, a 1.5 oz shot of vodka can have as many as 125 calories, and a 12 oz Long Island Iced Tea has almost 800 calories! Compare that to the average daily caloric intake of the average American--2000 calories--and now you know why you felt like bloated crap the morning after drinking a half-dozen Long Islands.

You know, this kind of information? You can just keep it to yourself from now on, okay? Thanks.
